About this episode
Thank you to our Sponsors: West Peak and True Classic! - Upgrade your wardrobe and save on @TrueClassic at https://trueclassic.com/SALTY #trueclassicpod This week on Pinch My Salt we dive into the wild side of surf culture — surf fights at Lower Trestles, drone pilots disrupting lineups, Florida surf history, and why surfers never quite get the respect they deserve. Sterling Spencer and Ryan Spencer break down legendary run-ins at Lowers with Wardo, Dane Ward, Chad Montgomery, Fur Dog, and a lifeguard named Rocky who might still be looking for Sterling years later. From surf beefs to split peaks, this episode is packed with hilarious core-lord stories that only true surfers know. We also get into the rise of drone clips and how adult beginner surfers with drones are buying their way into the lineup, changing surf etiquette, and manipulating pros with the power of footage. Sterling reveals why clips are “currency” in surf culture, and why surfers will do anything for the right angle. From Florida’s forgotten surf heroes to why there should be a Gulf Coast Surf Hall of Fame, we talk surf history, surf respect, and how the core lords of the sport never get the recognition they deserve. Plus — kickflip struggles, tattoos, kids’ contests that felt like rooster fights, and how generational parenting shaped surfing. #PinchMySalt #SurfComedy #SurfPodcast #SterlingSpencer #RyanSpencer #Surfing #FloridaSurfers #SurfCulture #SurfLife #SurfHistory #SurfStories #SurfFight #DronePilots #SurfPodcastClips #CoreLord #SurfingLife #ComedyPodcast
